Amazon Kinesis Settings
If Amazon Kinesis is selected as an Audit Target, it is necessary to configure an AWS EC2 Instance to host Amazon Kinesis, configure Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose , and then point the resultant Firehose audit data to a storage repository, such as AWS S3.
If you choose not to use the Instance Profile Credentials to access Amazon Kinesis, the Access Key and Secret Key will need to be entered as provided by Amazon.
